ABSTRACT

Pathologies of the spinal cord may be associated with scoliosis. When the spine deformity is corrected, neurological deficits due to spinal cord tension may develop. For this reason, surgical procedures may be required for intraspinal pathology. In this study, we evaluate the treatment approaches for spinal deformities with a high incidence of spinal abnormalities.
